Week 4 Open Thread

No, $500k is a good investment because ESPN is locked in to buying the game for $1.5M or whatever, plus they get to keep the gate and vending receipts. Not a bad racquet.

You don't know what the real deal is. I'm quite sure ESPN has made no binding commitment. BYU is on something like consignment.

[TripletDaddy]

See what I mean.

Actually, no. I'm not sure what you mean.

[SeattleUte]

Not only are you a Moran, you don't even realize it. You definitely still think like a mid major.

Moran, if we win the championsip do we or do we not go to a BCS bowl. Answer yes or no.

[SeattleUte]

Your posts are much better when you leave out the gratuitous swipes at mormons and their leders. You should let us mormons do that. Black people can use the N word, white people never should it.

Mormon is not the same as skin color.

I feel bad Nick Foles plays for Arizona. He is a very good QB.

Much like Friends of Scouting, the real bottom line dollars and their usage is kept secret from the huddled masses (who contribute said dollars).


ESPN's commitment was 'up to' a certain number of games/yr. 0 is included in the 'up to' number, but perhaps they will buy the game instead of airing a HS game. Go Vandals. 2nd best team on the Pallouse.

This deal was a freebee for ESPN. Trust me. Then BYU could crow about how it finally was able to do what it wanted to do all along, and try to save face. Independence and ESPN were all about PR in response to Utah going to the pac 12. It was stupid.

The results speak for themselves. Look at the schedules. Now that they got creamed by Utah, what do they have to live for? Nothing except maybe the El Paso bowl if they win all their patsies (just about all remaining games). It's a kind of fan purgatory. I feel sorry for BYU fans. They have terrible leaders.

Technically the Sun Bowl (El Paso) is a P12 game. P12 vs ACC

I was referring to that bowl y'all played in last year. What was it called? It had a hilarious name.

Tostito's BCS National Championship.

QED.

You still think this is about winning "BCS bowls."

Great. Hopefully Utah can make it to another BCS bowl. SC, the team that beat Utah, losing horribly probably won't affect the goal of making it to a "BCS bowl."

I'll take a BCS bowl in an off year. We've won a national championship since USC did.

You are no longer playing for a BCS bowl, you are playing for the right to go to THE ROSE BOWL GAME.

One loss and you readjust goals for the entire season? What kind of BCS coach are you? You keep illustrating my point, you just don't realize it.

Much like Mormonism is in your DNA, mid-majorism is also in your DNA.

[NorthwestUteFan]

Or if we RE-HE-HEally shit the bed we can still go to the New Mexico bowl for a walk in the park against CSU or Wyoming. But my hope is still for a California trip over Christmas (Rose - not really a possibility, Holiday - perhaps, Kraft Foods Mac n' Cheese Bowl in SF - probably will finish higher).

Alamo - would be great, but won't go*
Sun Bowl - would be great, but won't go*
Maaco LV Bowl - not interested, but could go - would be nice to rematch against Boise State



*going to SLC to take the family snowboarding, might hit St George for a few days - could easily swing a San Diego roadie...
